Erin Ward

Based in Yorkshire, Erin graduated from Northumbria University, Newcastle with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art.  Her wonderfully expressive paintings capture the drama of light and cloud on the natural landscape.  She says of her work: 'I use the landscape as a starting point; landscape here and abroad. Its form, colour and atmosphere.'
'I don't usually work from sketches - just paint straight onto the canvas using my own photos for reference, working fast, using large brushes, rags and sometimes fingers to push the paint around until it forms a response that I'm after.'
Erin has exhibited in the UK and abroad, with work being held in private collections in London, North Yorkshire and Cyprus.
